The first nail-focused beauty blog

You know that we are living in a material worldAnd I am a material girlA material, a material, a material, a material worldMaterial Girl lyrics by Peter Brown & Robert Rans

Even though Madonna’s song was about materialism and not fabric, it’s hard for me not to look at the imMaterial Gurl collection from China Glaze without hearing those lyrics in my head. I can’t sing to save my life but in the comfort of my polish room, I was belting it out like a champ while testing these shades.

A collection of six textile themed cremes, the imMaterial Gurl nail polishes are a girly change of pace compared to their bolder Spring/Summer offerings, Ink and Ecollection. With a diverse range of hues to flatter most skin tones, rich pigmentation and a high gloss shine, these are not what I’d call “must have” colors but they’re definitely good staple shades to round out your collection.

For the most part the formula was spot on. Two coats for perfect, even coverage. The only notable exceptions are Second-hand Silk and Heirloom Organza. The consistency was a bit thicker and not as flowy so, I had to use three coats. All shades are shown without a top coat, just their natural glossiness.

Vintage Crepe

Atelier Tulle

Designer Satin

The imMaterial Colleciton is available now and can be purchased online from 8ty8Beauty.com and Head2ToeBeauty.com. China Glaze is also carried in ULTA and Sally Beauty Supply stores but call for seasonal collection availability.

I just wanted to say how much I adore your blog. I have used so many of your posts for colour reference before ordering on ebay. I live in Norway and it’s hard to get hold of other polishes than revlon and isadora and the big make-up-brands. And getting hold of a quick-dry topcoat is a far fledged fantasy.

Now – after reading and reading your blog I’m the happy owner of several china glaze and opi and a huge fan of seche vite – I can actually paint my nails and not be afraid for my polish the next 3 hours.

That Crepe and Tulle are growing on me BIG time! I keep coming back to them. I just ordered the Lubu Set and X from CG (I know i’m late in the game but that’s what i usually do, see a polish, no biggie then one fine day, I HAVE TO HAVE IT)So that recent order is what’s stopping me from getting these two beauties. Oh, but I am soooo tempted!!!

Ok I know this might not be the right section to post this question but I need to know, what exactly causes nail polish shrinkage? I always seem to get that overnight with almost every polish I have and am wondering if it’s cause by my topcoat(s) Seche Vite and CND Air Dry. Help!

Actually I didn’t even look at this collection at first. It was plain boring I decided. Then, for some reason, I got a bottle of Atelier Tulle and now I am in love! Perfect application, good color. I also bought a bottle of Designer Satin. Same perfect application and great color! Okey, they are not new, not edgy or cool. But the quality is so great!

Even though I cut out pop (yes, I say pop because, Ohio) from my diet over 20 years ago, I’m a die-hard Coca-Cola fan. I used to annoy servers during high school and college by ordering Cherry Cokes, made with grenadine and a cherry, natch. And I still I treat myself to a one when we […]

Happy Friday! Do you have fun weekend plans? My back went out last weekend, so I’ve been out of commission all week and am itching to get out of the house. Hello, cabin fever! #NailGlossip Anywho, I hope you’re free Sunday night, July 12th, because we’re chatting with the one and only Deborah Lippmann during #NailGlossip […]

I totally squealed, to the point of scaring my furry co-worker (aka my kitty Ren), when I spotted a new minty green nail polish from CHANEL on Instagram. CHANEL Fraicheur kept popping up on some Russian and Asian accounts, but I couldn’t understand the captions, and had to know more. I proceeded to stalk Chanel.com […]

This #ManiMonday is part Throwback Thursday, part plea. You see, during last night’s Nail Glossip chat we talked jelly nail polish, and no convo about jellies would be complete without mentioning Deborah Lippmann Rehab. As I wished out loud for Rehab’s resurrection, Deborah Lippmann answered my call with this tweet. So, I’m here not only […]

I make no apologies for how much I love my hair and that I take pride in maintaining its appearance. I mean, I have bins and bins of products taking over my linen closet. Though frizz is the bane of my hair’s existence. Having coarse, super thick, crazy wavy hair means it sucks up any moisture […]
